Let's build a solid list of known scam tactics in the crypto space. We need this out there.
Here's the thing - there are too many bad actors using the same old tricks over and over. Fake promises of guaranteed returns, impersonators running official-looking accounts, copycat tokens that look legit at first glance, pump-and-dump schemes disguised as genuine projects.
If we crowdsource this, document what actually goes wrong, we can help people spot these patterns before they lose money. Share your encounters. What red flags did you catch? What made you suspicious? What scams are floating around right now?
The more transparent we are about these tactics, the harder it gets for scammers to operate. Everyone in this community deserves better.

These old tricks indeed need to be exposed, but to be honest, most people are still easily fooled.

To be honest, I've seen this scam way too many times. Aren't there still friends around me who have been victimized by rug pulls?
